The General Bean

The General Bean Local Handcrafted Wool goods, needle felting supplies and classes. We handcraft eco friendly products, needle felting kits from local wool.

We also sell needle felting supplies and teach Zoom Needle Felting Classes. The General Bean is the brain child of Fiber Artist Jamie Lynn Bowen and her husband, artist and author, M. Scott Ault- with a combined vision towards environmentalism, sustainability, and local economic growth realized through original handcrafted wool goods, supplies and teaching. Our fiber is sourced, mostly, from a family run mill just outside of Calgary and we handcraft all our goods in Calgary AB.
